Spreading the word
« on: August 30, 2005, 08:34:15 PM »
Was rolling along in traffic this morning at about 20 mph in a 65, and was not a happy camper.  On the radio they were doing the trivial news stories, this one in particular was about HD video game development.  After that the hosts started talking about their own video game experiences, and the one guy started talking about his "absolute favorite video game" Air Warrior.  By the time the comercial brake came up, I happend to remember the stations number.  The morning show isnt a call-in show per se, but he put me on the air, and we talked AW briefly, and established the game is no longer around.  "But" I said "Air Warrior players went to similar games like....".  Later as he was wraping up the conversation, he asked
"What was that game like Air Warrior again?"
"Aces High"
"And you can get that online?"
"Yes, flyaceshigh.com."
That's easy enough to remember"
"You can fly with 4 to 5 hundered other players every night."
"All right, thanks for checking in."
"Thank you, have a good one."
I heard him say later he might have to try flying again.

Dont know what it was, but I went from being really ticked off at traffic, to having a big grin for the next hour.

But you didn't give him your CPID.  You will forever be lost in radio airwaves.  Good promotion for the game though, you receive the 14K gold plated cookie.

14K gold plated at that, it'll be like Wild Turkey or whatever that stuff is (I don't drink).  Anyway, did the radio station offer to pay for your subscription or even do anything?  And did you get pulled over for talking on the phone in traffic which could have led to a horrendous low speed stop'n'go bumper crusher?
